2) contact your local planned parenthood to see if its the right decision for you.www.plannedparenthood.org
OR consult a doctor to find out more options.
I'm unsure of all the state laws but I do know that abortion is illegal after a certain gestation in some locations. [again, I'm not sure of specifics. You'll have to look at your local laws & regulations]

Do research to see how much it costs in your area. It's different depending on where you live.

Best wishes!

Hold my hand overstand this too can be your kingdom: blessed. And when the rain comes, put your hand in the dirt baba this is where you came from.

Depending on how far along you are you have 2 options, medication that causes you to pass the pregnancy at home (heavy cramping and bleeding) or an aspiration procedure in the clinic that takes about 5-10 minutes. It’s a crampy procedure but you’ll have less cramping and bleeding after.

Let me know if you have questions, I deal with these procedures at work.

It sounds like you are in a difficult situation right now, and I’m really sorry to hear that. if you need to talk to someone about options, you may benefit from calling 1-800-712-4357-it’s a 24 hour hotline. Also, when you’re under extreme stress it can be difficult to be objective about the situation so I would encourage you to get as much information as possible before you decide. Abortion cannot be undone, and for some women that kind of loss can be very traumatic. I hope you give yourself time to explore your choices well. All the best to you and your family

OP (original poster) that 1-800 number above is to OptionLine an anti-abortion pro-“life” center so if you call you should know they will have their own agenda that does not necessarily align with what’s right for you right now.

If you are worried about cost you can look into Abortion Fund. They may be able to help you.

Thank you, I was just about to comment this. Unless you're looking into being talked out of an abortion, I would NOT call that number.

I think with the NAF Hotline you'll need to repeatedly call until you get through since the line is fairly busy and under-staffed but eventually you'll get through! Definitely contact your local Planned Parenthood for resources. You may also have a local abortion outreach/support group if you look in your area.

I myself have never had an abortion or wanted one, however this is your perogative and yours alone. If you truly are not ready for motherhood it is better for the both of you to see a professional. Self abortion is NOT AN OPTION if you want to go on living your life.. they are absolutely LIFE THREATENING PROCEDURES when done on your own and very simple in a clinic. There are planned parenthoods all over the country .. make the father who impregnated you foot the bill and threaten him with a lifetime of child support and garnished wages.. Or go to the clinic and talk to one of the administrators about your situation and she will work something out with you but by all means do NOT do this yourself. See a professional at a clinic your life depends on it.
